AI and Your Manuscript: Editor Kristen Tate's Honest Take
Manage episode 489558432 series 2996633
In our quest to cover the mind-blowing benefits AND the nightmare scenarios that AI chatbots are unleashing on the writing world, we called in friend-of-the-podcast and editor Kristen Tate to find out if she's using AI in her work.
The answer? It depends entirely on her clients' wishes—and a few hard lines she refuses to cross. But this isn't just about ethics (though we go there). Kristen gets into the nitty-gritty technical stuff: what chatbots absolutely nail, what they're garbage at, and her brilliant hack for wrangling conference notes that'll make you wonder why you didn't think of it first. Plus, she's got some hard truths for authors who are way too eager to let AI do their editing dirty work.
If you're an indie writer or just need some tips to polish your work, this is the episode for you.
Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
